Yellow Birch Lake
Yellow Birch Lake is one of the more sought-after lakes on the Eagle River Chain of Lakes. Its biggest differentiator is its mostly sand bottom—something rare on the chain—which makes it especially attractive for swimming and wading.
Located right in Eagle River, it offers immediate access to restaurants, marinas, and in-town amenities while still providing full chain connectivity. The shallow, nutrient-rich water supports strong fishing, and the sandy stretches give many properties a beach-like feel.
Among Eagle River Chain options, Yellow Birch consistently ranks toward the top due to its swimming quality, convenience, and overall usability.

This is a summary based on available information.
Fishing information lists musky, panfish, largemouth and smallmouth bass among the key species in Yellow Birch, with shallow structure and weeds playing a major role. Anglers often work sand/weed transitions, points, and channel areas where water flows toward or away from town, targeting panfish and bass close to shore and muskies and pike along slightly deeper edges. Because the lake is shallow and relatively small, early and late in the day are popular for serious fishing, while mid‑day often shifts toward swimming, paddling, and family boating. For cabin owners, Yellow Birch can serve as a comfortable “home bay” with easy sand‑bottom swimming and dependable multi‑species action, plus quick access to the broader Eagle River Chain when they want to roam.
